I don't think anyone would argue about Milner's fitness and stamina, but it's hardly an obvious weakness of Henderson's. In fact it's the opposite.

`Hold FIRE ....they rate things are going the rest of the team will have broken metatarsals, torn cartilages, ruptured tendons or fractured tibias within ten days approx .....and you wont have to lay a glove on anyone.
I don't think he's put together a complete display yet.
But what's encouraging are the flashes he shows in only his 2nd competitive game. When he actually settles in, I think he will be on the VVD/Salah level for our midfield.
After 2 games last season we had 4 points with a +1 goal difference. Same point this season we have 6 points and +6.
Only 36 wins to go.

I think Henderson is very fit and has got great stamina.. he's just not particularly powerful (to keep up with a Zaha) or brush him off the ball. Gini despite his faults, can do that. And today it helped.
It was perfect back 6 for the game against a lightening quick Palace side.
Against other teams, I'd expect Hendo and Fabinho to come back in.
Erm, yes, we would.
We would have been joint on everything (points, wins & goal difference) & L comes before M in the alphabet.
His balance there was something else. Surprised it hasn't been more remarked upon. Really great goal that was.

Goals scored wins
Milner has been our best ... the front 3 dont actually look up for it yet. Strange game today they were well playing within themselves. So glad we got that 2nd goal coz you dont know how often man city will start spanking other teams...its good to be in touching goal differene distance.
He got lots of space when they went a man down and still did nothing with it.
He's fucking boss.
I fully expect us to concede a couple a season from a wayward or intercepted pass, & maybe a couple more from a punch that gets intercepted or falls to the opposition.
In trade off we get a keeper who plays so far forwards at times he's practically a sweeper, with balls of steel, who looks so fucking commanding yet relaxed it's unreal, & can actually save the fucking ball when he needs to as well.
I'm chuffed to bits.
Strange thing is.. he got the pen..and subdued them with the sending off...and got the assist for Mane. If not scoring then at least his talents are best used in other areas of the game.
Also what is it with these posts about how lucky we are to win at Palace...we have won at their place for the last three seasons havnt we ?
Apart from a precision chipped pass, some 30 yards, that should have seen Firmino score.
This!
umm we might let in maybe 1 or 2 right?
I've been moaning about that since reina left.
All good keepers need to be willing to plow through everything in their way to get the ball.
So nice not to have a shitbag in front of the net.
Of course, yes, but he also gave the ball away in bad positions. He's going to need time, of course. I'm a teensy bit surprised at how much hype there already is about the guy, but I'm not saying he's not GOING to be a really exciting player for us.
City have scored more
City can fuck right off. They have the best team in the world apparently and still lost both quarters in CL last season and have never been in a CL final... as far as I know.
